Sex Pistols graffiti unearthed in London

Graffiti scrawled on the wall of a building used by punk icons the SEX PISTOLS during their 1970s heyday has been discovered in London.

The controversial band was based at an apartment in central London in the late 1970s, and drawings on a wall were found when the building was recently converted into offices.

The images, mostly by frontman Johnny Rotten, include a self-portrait of the singer sporting his trademark spiky hair, and a drawing of the band’s manager Malcolm McLaren clutching a bundle of cash.

Now leading archaeologists are debating whether the graffiti should be preserved as a work of historical importance.

Paul Graves-Brown and John Schofield, of York University in England, write in a report, “This is an important site, historically and archaeologically, for the material and evidence it contains. But should we retain it for the benefit of this and future generations?”
